To Mothers Who Serve

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We had two days of incredible quality family time. I also was able to joyfully give my Mother and Mother-in-law their presents. Both women joyfully serve the Lord and have as long as I have known them, so their presents were very fitting.

I simply placed the sentiment (Serve the Lord - Small - Chocolate) on the front glass of an 11x14 frame. I then purchased an additional 11x14 piece of glass and applied the Parisian Damask (Medium - Kraft) to the front of it. The backing is simply a piece of white paper to increase the contrast.

The second piece was created using the same procedure and sizes with a Black sentiment and a Dark Gray Damask. The damask, however, was too dark for the sentiment so I simply inserted a piece of tracing paper between the two pieces of glass to tone down the Dark Gray coloring. PERFECT!
